ecosystem decay : Process of species loss from fragmented ecosystems
relaxation to equilibrium : Decline in species to match reduced (new) area of habitat
adaptive radiation : Diversification of a species (single lineage) into more species to fill open niches
wallace line : Biogeographic line that separates Asian from Australian faunas (named after a person)
allee effect : Positive effect between fitness & population density (rated to passenger pigeon extinction)
genetic drift : Change in frequency of a gene variant in a population due to random sampling
krakatau : Island near Java that exploded in 1883 & subsequently used to predictions species recovery
panmixia : Random mating within a breeding population (assumes complete mixture)
endemic : Species whose geographic range is confined to a specific area (often <50,000 sq km)
inbreeding depression : Reduced fitness as a result of breeding of related individuals due to a population bottleneck
